Starbucks has shot down rumors that the coffee giant was planning to offer discounts to undocumented American immigrants.

Starbucks debunked rumors about a #BorderFreeCoffee promotion on Twitter over the weekend.

“We’re sorry but you’ve been misinformed,” the company tweeted in response to a tweet accusing the chain of “pandering” to immigrants. “Starbucks is not sponsoring any such event.”
